but the igbos and yorubas undoubtedly controls nigeria not the northerners and they can take even the political power anytime they get serious , those down the delta ar already fed up and they would fall in line too.
look at the banks,insurance,nollywood,music,education,manufact uring etc
NB an average northern has not and will not benefit from the present arrangement but they whether directly or indirectly have b een used to maintain the status quo
I agree with many of your summations. Our greatest asset is quality human resources and the north has no idea what that means. Where I differ is that we have been used to maintain the status quo. They don't bother with such finesse any more. Mass rigging comes far cheaper than vote buying.
